202 - Buchanan Room - James Buchanan Hotel

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (4)
"The term "hotel" is a little misleading as it is more like an inn where there is no hotel staff onsite. An innkeeper greeted us to check us in and give us a tour of the property. The room was very clean and comfortable. We also visited the onsite restaurant, which was lovely. The food was excellent! Unfortunately, there were no real options for breakfast in town and no shopping or entertainment. If you stay here, be prepared for a quiet night in."

"Loved the unique idea of establishing a Cottage style retreat on a few acres of land. We had a difficult journey due to bad weather and bad directions, in the mountains, and arrived pretty late, Once we opened the door to the Cottage we were in love. It was bigger than expected , clean and well laid out. Our sleep , on the brass bed was deep and our morning was bright and relaxed. We will definately reccommend this place to friends. One note, on your GPS, you MUST add the town ( Flintstone) !...

"Weve stayed here before, enroute to visit family in Maryland. The cabins are very amply large, with modern ammenities. The beds were comfy, eating area was clean and spacious, with even a well thought out large front porch, with a rocking chair to enjoy the serenity of the distant mountains. We'll be back!"

"If you’re looking for a quiet peaceful cabin to just go get lost in the world of your significant other, this is the place to go! They’re far enough from the everyday life but still close enough to enjoy all the beauty of their charming city!! The food is to die for and definitely a reason for us to return!! Nothing bad to say at all except they need larger hot water tanks bc when I’m enjoying my wife that includes sharing a shower that we would have preferred not to be rushed out of!! Otherwise...
